When I kill it, it kills X as well. Is there a way to have an icon that does not create a superfluous console window? You could start an application (including xterm) which is initially iconified. That would move it out of sight. This should work: xterm -iconic The startxwin.sh script needs _something_ that is holding onto the shell script, to prevent it from exiting. I don't think I made myself clear! When I said "ugly console" I meant the cmd.exe console (possibly running bash). I think you are talking about the initial xterm. The initial xterm is not a problem. How can I start X without running cmd.exe? hmm (I'm not where I can check). However - I recall setting up some commands which use the Windows "start" command with a "/min" option. I'm not sure you can do this (easily) using startx, because the startx mechanism relies on the script sticking around until the last client exits. The traditional (i.e. UNIX) server start-up would run a window manager as a foreground task. When the window manager exited, the server shut down. If you use startxwin.bat instead, this uses run.exe to start the server in the background. This leaves the script free to exit, closing the cmd window. You will see the cmd window until the script exits, but this can be useful. If you never want to see the cmd window, you can create a shortcut to the script and set it to start minimized in its property sheet.

Re: Checking if the X Server is running
As someone pointed out in another post the sequence ps |grep has a risk of finding grep itself in the list. The command pgrep combines both and hasn't that risk. > Thanks Holger.

I'm not sure what you mean by "unix xterm". If that means connecting from a different system, then you can't get calc because calc can't display itself on a X11 Server. If you mean starting calc from cygwins xterm on the same server, as your hint suggests, then you probably run into specific problems a terminal server has (finding the right session).

You can't set Xwins display depth larger than the Desktop it is running on. Usually that would be 16 Bit with rdp sessions. Did you ever check on the rdp Windows Desktop that you really get 32 Bit in Windows? Because i get 16 Bit even if i request 24 Bit. > I have tried modifying the .inputrc file for 8-bit mode as follows, > but had the same problem. That has no influence on Xwin.

This is most likely only a warning, and not an error. Xwin does the same about /tmp/.X11-unix for example. If you want to get rid of it you need a user root with uid 0 in /etc/passwd and then change the owner of .font-unix to root. But i doubt that this is the reason for xfs not starting.
